    Carol Ochs - Artisan Soapmaker and Fantasy Artist's Interests
MusicMy iPod playlists are pretty non-specific in genre--everything from Aerosmith rock, to Rachmaninoff, to jazz, to fairy music, .....and a LOT of movie soundtracks....all depends on my mood! I also have a strong attraction to oboe music! (?) Go figure...

All-time favorite musician is my husband, contemporary jazz guitarist, David Ochs! Working on composing his debut CD! Stay-tuned for updates! Check out his MySpace at (click the guitar) for a few released singles. "Friend" him to join his music mailing list!

MoviesCan never list them all. All-time favs - Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Tristan & Isolde, and Somewhere In Time. I watch them probably way more often than the average bear, including "the making of".....vastly inspired by ALL the creative forces and pure love that converged ro create every aspect of these movies! The definition, to me, of a "GREAT" movie is one where I would be extremely disappointed at the thought of never being able to see it again.
TelevisionCNN--junkie, Survivor, Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, History Channel, movies.
BooksAmazon addict. Fiction, non-fiction, mystery, horror, novels, autobiographies, the works.
HeroesDavid, my husband, most ethically and spiritually sound person I know, and *added bonus*...he's divinely, irreverently funny! Married 25 years and the guy still drives me wild, inspires me to be better...to me, that IS "hero". My kids also continually inspire me to see with fresh eyes and open heart.

Heroes in my fields of interest include art masters such as John William Waterhouse, art visionaries like Alan Lee, Brian Froud; storytellers J. R. R. Tolkien, and Peter Jackson who further fulfilled the original vision....and too many others to list.

My everyday-heroes are individuals with genuine decency, humility, and empathy.

About me:

Fill out your e-mail address
to receive our newsletter!

Thanks for stopping by! I'm Carol Ochs ("Oaks"), I live in San Diego, CA, with a husband I'm cRRRaZy about and 3 great kids (two sons, 1 daughter)! I knew MySpace is a great networking place ...but didn't realize how many inspiring and creative people I'd meet--WOW!

I own a handcrafted soapmaking business, have for 14 years. I work out of a home-based workshop (see tour link below). I guess I'm a throw-back to old times when everything was handmade,... simple, pure, uncomplicated ingredients. Non-industrialized, to be sure...but some things are just better "the old way"! I seem to have an attraction to standing over large pots concocting things...usually big messes! A soapmaking hobby accidentally became a business when friends & family liked the soap-gifts I gave them one Christmas, + the magic of the internet & good-timing just sort of converged and...Abracadabra! Soap business!

I'm also a part-time fantasy artist. I never quite left childhood behind, so lured by the realm of enchantment, I draw & paint faery folk, witches, and other creatures of fancy that scratch & tickle to get out of my head. You're invited to come visit! I also am the steward of the group The Fantasy Art Gathering to help promote fantasy artists!

(CLICK link banners to go to websites!)

And this website supports many of my fellow fantasy artist friends! Check 'em out!

The Fantasy Art Gathering can also be found here at MySpace at:

My art appears in the book: Vision of Atlantis, an Ellen Million Graphics Publication:

Ellen Million Graphics can be reached at: http://www.ellenmilliongraphics.com

Be sure to come check out our collection of nearly 70 handmade soaps!

You are welcome to visit our virtual workshop/studio tour to see where we make soap and art!

People I'd find interesting to meet in-general (whom I haven't yet met): Steven Tyler, Gawani Pony Boy, Magali Delgado, Frederic Pignon, Bear Grylls, Stephen King, Alan Lee, Peter Jackson.

The lady she stood with a deep quiet air

emanating an aura of such love and care

bluebirds land in whispering brushes

who is in need of happiest wishes

gathering wingsful to spread and scatter

fluttering arrays that can't be bought

If you can please keep an eye

as she's being sent in love and joy

there she goes she's on her way

straights her path of brightest ray

listen close you'll hear her say

Special Bluebird wishes for you this day ~ Libithina

sent in love and joy my dear friend
